Hi,

not that i assume that this is a bug in Gnus - this sentence does
contain an oxymoron ;-)

Latest Opera (Windows) shows an attachment, but with filename attachment.tmp.
Obviously somehow the second part of "Content-Disposition: " is not
understood.

Latest Firefox (Windows) does even not show the attachment.

Header generated:

,----
| Content-Type: application/octet-stream
| Content-Disposition: attachment;
|  =?us-ascii?Q?filename=3D=22=3D=3Fiso-8859-1=3FQ=3F2012-01-19-Uniklinik-M?=
|  =?us-ascii?Q?=3DFCnster-Gespr=3DE4chsprotokoll=3D2Edoc=3F=3D=22?=
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
`----

The body starts with:

,----
| UEsDBBQABgAIAAAAIQCUQHqXwwEAAOUHAAATAAgCW0NvbnRlbnRfVHlwZXNdLnhtbCCiBAIooAAC
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
`----

so that is there no surrounding header.

That looks totally broken, but I'm not able to reproduce this.

Could you put the entire message in a file, and then gzip it, and then
mail me it?  Then I can try reproducing the error.

It's just weird that it Q-encodes the entire "filename=foo" bit...

This has now been fixed in No Gnus, I think.  The error was that long
file name parameters were folded, and other mail readers doesn't like
that.  Which is understandable.
